The Last Worker is a first-person narrative adventure centered around humanity's struggle in an increasingly automated world, where humans are being replaced by robots.Set in a lonely, oppressive but strangely beautiful environment, The Last Worker is a unique blend of first-person narrative, work simulation and stealth strategy game play.
Combining a hand crafted art style with uniquely immersive gameplay mechanics in an epic setting, The Last Worker delivers an emotional, thought provoking and comedic story packaged with rich characters.
Featuring uniquely immersive gameplay, handcrafted 3D and 2D visuals based on concepts by comics legend Mick McMahon and a multi-instrumental score, The Last Worker features intense performances from an all-star cast (to be announced in early September).
Wired Productions, Oiffy and Wolf & Wood revealed the world-class talent delivering the inspired narrative in The Last Worker.
- Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter, Star Trek: Discovery) as Skew
- Ólafur Darri Ólafsson (Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, The Meg) as Kurt
- Clare-Hope Ashitey (Children of Men, Doctor Who) as HoverBird
- David Hewlett (Stargate: Atlantis, Rise of the Planet of the Apes) as Josef
Jason Isaacs said, “The Last Worker felt entirely unlike every game I’ve played or been a part of. The characters were human and complicated and funny, the story was poignant and personal and, yes, the game-playing was addictive and fun. All round it felt fresh, creative and original. When was the last time you had a helper bot from Liverpool?! The creator, Jörg, is a risk-taking nerd of the highest order. Roll on The Last Worker 2… if that’s not a contradiction!”
Jörg Tittel said, “It is with great pride that we are able to announce our all-star voice talent during La Biennale di Venezia, the world’s oldest film festival. Every member of the cast brings their respective characters to life in ways that go beyond what we cover ever have hoped or imagined.”
Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions, continued, “The Last Worker being the only video game up for an award at the 78th Venice International Film Festival is a testament to how unique an experience it already is for VR and traditional gaming platforms.”
